Chapter 1: A conversation with Tsuiko

"You have to live well." Tsuiko stood on the green hillside and smiled softly at me.

"Tsuiko!" I rushed over and hugged her, "It's great that you're okay." ”

She hugged me too, "You haven't hugged me like that since three years ago." ”

"I'm sorry ......" because I want to grow up on my own, so I ignore the people around me. I now understand that growing up doesn't have to be alienated from others, even if you are tired of it. "From now on, I will give you a hug every day, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening."

Tsuiko smiled, "Then I can't bear it." ”

I hugged her tightly and didn't want to ask or leave, as if I would become a phantom if I let go of all this.

Tsuiko put her hand on my back and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

I shook my head, no, nothing, just that the feeling in the stalactite cave was too real, and I didn't want to explore where Tsuiko was hurt, and I didn't want to analyze why I was here with her. That's it.

"Let go of me first, okay?"

No, no, no.

"Then let's sit down first, it's been a long time since we've had such a quiet chat."

Tsuiko pulled me to sit down, she looked at the scenery below, and I looked at her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"It's nothing...... I turned my head and stared at the grass at my feet before telling the truth, "I'm afraid you'll disappear." ”

"No, I'll always be there for you."

Liar, I buried my head in my knees, it was a lie.

Tsuiko stroked the back of my spine, and I couldn't help but say, "I'm not mica." ”

"I see you touch the mica like this every time you come home, I think you like it."

I like to pet cats, but I don't like to be petted.

Tsuiko let go of her hand, and we were silent for a while before she said, "Since you know it in your heart, don't run away, I can accept this ending." ”

Hearing her words, I felt my heart suddenly stop for two seconds, then beat faster, hitting my chest with pain.

"What an evasion, what an ending, what nonsense are you talking about." I shook her hand and said, "It's so nice today, let's talk about something else." ”

My anxiety was passed on to her, and I didn't want her to say any more.

Tsuiko didn't follow me perfunctory, and said directly, "The end of dying in the stalactite cave." ”

When I heard the word death, I had already shook off her hand and stood up, not wanting to hear it.

"Rain, really, I can take it."

"You can, I can't!" I yelled at her, "Why are you so calm?!" Why would you give up your life? To save me? ”

I pointed to myself, "Where do I need you to help?" I don't want you to save me! Even without this body, I can still live! ”

"Rain ......"

Tsuiko wanted to pull my hand, but I moved away and turned my back to her, wiped away the snot that came out of the tears with my hand, choked my throat and said, "What are you doing by pulling me into this fake world without consulting us?" ”

Instead of forcing me to sit down, she continued:

"My end is already doomed, but you are not, you are the only existence in this world that is not bound by fate, you must have a good future."

After listening to her words, I lowered my hand on my face, "Did you already know?" ”

"Know what?"

"I knew I was going to end up like this."

Tsuiko asked rhetorically: "Didn't you already know about it?" ”

…… That's right, I know. There's no way not to know, how can Tsuiko not notice it when she behaves so obviously. We were all pretending to be confused, and I thought that if I lived stupidly, I would be lucky enough to get away with something, but what should have happened happened. She said that I am not bound by fate, but am I still in this circle?

I sat down in frustration, "It's better not to know what to do than to know what's the use, nothing to change." ”

Am I here to experience life and death? In order for me to see the people around me dying one by one? What have I done to be so cruel to me?

"It's useful."

Tsuiko took my hand, I looked at it and said, "I just wiped my nose and there is snot on it." ”

Tsuiko choked, "Is this the time to talk about this?" I don't dislike you. ”

"It's not a matter of disgust, it's unhygienic." I pulled my hand out and wiped it clean on my clothes, then shoved it back into her hand. "You go on."

“…… Well. Tsuiko thought about it for a moment before reorganizing the language, "Even though my ending hasn't changed, it's my own choice, which is a big difference." ”

I got angry at that, and she pushed me out and killed me with the youkai. Obviously, if two people are together, there may be different results.

"I know what you're thinking, you've been trying hard to change my fate, but ......," Tsuiko put her hand on her right shoulder, "I was badly injured and poisoned, and I couldn't live as a human being. ”

I mourned in my heart, it was someone who saw and hurt her. Since the two of them are fighting, only one of them must survive.

"When people see him, are they dead?"

Tsuiko lowered her eyes slightly and nodded.

"Don't feel sorry for us, from the moment we decided to be together, we were ready for that day. It was agreed that if he turned into a monster completely, then only I could end his life. ”

Because I knew the ending a long time ago and made all the preparations for that day, I didn't feel sad and sad when it really came to that time. But what about me, what am I doing, is fate playing tricks on me? Is it in vain to hide somewhere and laugh at me?

"Tsuiko."

"Huh?"

I blindfolded her sour eyes with one hand and asked her, "If you had another chance to choose, would you still push me away?" ”

"Yes." Tsuiko replied without hesitation, "Although there are still regrets, this is the most correct choice." ”

"But have you ever thought about me!" I covered my eyes with my hand, tilted my head and said to her, "I thought I was here to save you!" As a result, I did so much but it didn't work at all! ”

Ignoring the tears and snot running all over my face, I continued to vent: "What will the village do without you, what will I do?!" You only know to send your kindness, have you ever considered our feelings! We also want to ......"

The more I talk about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, MMP, I can't go on.

Tsuiko tried to comfort me several times, but her hands were raised and lowered. Anyway, it's not good to be comforted.

"I protect you not because of kindness, but because of selfishness." Tsuiko said this suddenly, I didn't understand what she meant.

"What do you mean?"

"If it weren't for you, I might have only a name, a story for a few strokes. If you hadn't come to this era, but in the time of Inuyasha, my life wouldn't have been as rich as it is now. So, protecting you is like proving that you had such a happy time. ”

She's right, in Inuyasha's story, she doesn't describe much, unlike several protagonists who have distinct personalities and flesh and blood.

But, "Are you satisfied?" No matter what the story is, the main content will focus on different characters, not that there are no simple characters, but they are not written. ”

Tsuiko smiled, "So, aren't you writing my content?" I hope you will keep writing. ”

I'm not a god, and the direction of the plot is not up to me, I'm just a manipulated pen, pointing where to write.

"Cuizi, you're all dead, how else can I write?" When life ends, the story ends. You are the protagonist of the story, how can you continue without you?

"Didn't I say it, I'll always be there for you."

Again, "Why are you by my side?" Does the soul follow me? Stop coaxing me. "Even her soul is trapped in the Jade of the Four Souls.

"If you're so easy to coax, I won't have to bother."

"Well, you've been talking to me here for a long time, just to set the stage for what you're going to tell me next?"

Tsuiko blinked in surprise, "...... How do you know? ”

"Because you're talking to me and making me feel uneasy, there's always a purpose for talking."

"I didn't expect you to be so smart."

It's not smart, it's an occupational disease.
